Too Much Micromanagement

Senior project specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are good, and job security is good, I enjoy my coworkers. I love working from home. Work is challenging and good work/life balance.

Cons

The amount of micromanagement is nerve-racking. Would be so much better if there were more autonomy. Also, the amount taken for retirement is too much and cannot be adjusted downward.
